Submitting your music to labels & artists

Posted on 23. Aug, 2009 by Luke Bond in Inspiration

There are various ways out there that you can submit your music to record labels and artists, 10 years ago people were posting tapes! With the revolution of the internet it’s never been easier to get your music across for exposure.

MySpace

One of the most common and successful ways of getting in contact with DJs, record labels and artists is via MySpace. You can simply sign up as a band/artist, write a little information about yourself and upload all your music into a tidy little player which will appear on your profile. People interested in your music can easily get in contact by sending you a message and vice versa.

Twitter

Twitter is one of the new contenders to the world of social networking, it’s very straight forward as you can simply post a tweet stating what ever message you want to get out to your followers whether you’re gigging or have a new track to show off.  The more followers you have, the higher chance you have of getting in touch with people who can get you places.

Email

Ah good old Email. Email is still one of the best ways to get in touch with the right people. You will find that most labels and artists have an email address dedicated for label submissions so it’s very wise to hunt around on the net and gather your self a mailing list and then you can simply send a bulk email out to all the labels thus highly increasing your chances of getting a response.

CD

If you’re serious about getting your music out there, the old fashion route in my opinion is still the best route to go. If you have a number of tracks you would like to get out there, burn them to a CD, print your self off a nice looking CD label with contact details and pop it in the post to the labels. A nice package in the mail will surely stand out more than one of the thousands of emails these guys get a day.

Remember folks, the more chances you roll the dice the higher chance you got of scoring a double 6 so keep pushing yourselfs. You may not get responses but keep trying until you do!
